I'm a fiction writer, and I do write essays, but I am not a poet. And I absolutely reject the phrase 'woman writer' as anti-feminist. I wrote an essay about this as far back as 1977, at the height of the neo-feminist movement.

I'm a fictional monogamist - I can only work on one thing at a time - but each novel starts growing in my head when I'm about midway through the previous novel.
‐‐ Julia Glass
I'm a fiend for costume jewellery and have countless pairs of rhinestone or diamante earrings, which are so flattering when they catch the light. I love the designers Alexis Bittar and Kenneth Jay Lane, and I always go to jewellers Butler & Wilson.

I'm a fierce advocate for diversity. Always have been, always will be.
‐‐ Roland Martin
I'm a fifth generation Jew from the South, and I would say that I felt this connection to my religion, but it wasn't a spiritual connection.

I'm a fighter, and I don't take no for an answer.

I'm a fighter and not a victim. Think of yourself and make the most of life.

‐‐ Juliette Binoche
I'm a fighter by nature and nothing will ever change that.

I'm a fighter, so when someone says 'no' to me, I try to figure out what I need to adjust to hear the yes.
‐‐ Jacqueline MacInnes Wood
I'm a fighting man, a fighting man with generations of fighting men before me in my family. That's all we do: we fight.
‐‐ Tyson Fury
I'm a film buff and I was keen to find out about the response to Daniel Craig's 007. 'Empire' and 'Hot Dog' had great reviews, and finally he's been accepted as the new Bond. So many millions go into that franchise that if you make a mistake, it's awful.

I'm a film doll. But I'm enjoying it. So I'm gonna keep doing it.
‐‐ Shannyn Sossamon
I'm a film maker who started on the Atari and then went onto the Commodore 64 and the Amiga. So I possibly have a different sensibility to people who didn't play games growing up.
‐‐ Duncan Jones
I'm a filmmaker and I'm proud of the movies I've made. But in the background of my life I was also very involved in the creation of the sport.
‐‐ Joel Silver
I'm a filmmaker, and I was most influenced by Hitchcock's films. How he could plant such deep enriched characters and then make us care both about the antagonist and protagonist was masterful.
‐‐ Paul Haggis
I'm a filmmaker, but my working procedures are different. All my basic structuring is done during the filming. You know, how long I keep the shot, the exposure or the speed - slower or faster, etc. That's structuring. And then there is a second stage of structuring that comes later when I begin to put those pieces together.
‐‐ Jonas Mekas
I'm a filmmaker. I like to ask the questions, make others feel vulnerable. I don't want to be vulnerable.
‐‐ Jimmy Chin
I'm a filmmaker. I'm always searching for the truth in everything I do. I demand it from my writing partner and my crew, actors, and so hopefully, we're making people think.
‐‐ Lee Daniels
I'm a filmmaker; I want to make films. I don't want to sit in a hotel room waiting to make films, and I can control my thing in Denmark; I can make the film I want to make... of course, I have to write a good script, all that, but if I do my job, it will happen.
‐‐ Tobias Lindholm
I'm a filmmaker, not a scientist.
‐‐ Roland Emmerich
I'm a filmmaker, so I always think: When is the breaking point? Sometimes you've got to go beyond the breaking point, and then you catch it. When is long enough? It's one of those things you have to look at, walk away, and go home and find out what it is.
‐‐ Steven Rodney McQueen
I'm a filmmaker to my bones.
‐‐ Ava DuVernay
I'm a filmmaker who decided to go to culinary school. All I picked up was the fact if I didn't understand what was going on with every single ingredient, I could be qualifying for, like, the lunch food job at my daughter's school.

I'm a finesse pitcher without the finesse.

‐‐ Frank Langella
I'm a firm believer in doing things that scare you.
‐‐ Catherine Bell
I'm a firm believer in God himself, but that's as far as I can go. I'm not any denomination. I'm not Catholic or Presbyterian or Baptist or Methodist or Jewish or Muslim. I'm none of those things. And I'm sure that's just fine with God.

I'm a firm believer in people who love what they do.
‐‐ Anthony Mackie
I'm a firm believer in putting your money where your mouth is.
‐‐ Teri Hatcher
I'm a firm believer in stories with arcs and beginnings and endings and all that. 'Scott Pilgrim' is sort of one long novel, and it's so long that I get confused and sort of tread water sometimes. But there's definitely a goal to it. People who just dismiss it as shallow, that's their prerogative, but it's not really my intent.
‐‐ Bryan Lee O'Malley
I'm a firm believer in the connection between the body and the mind: feed one, feed both. I like to run, but only short distances, and fast. I'm no good at long distance. More than six miles, and the knees start to go.
‐‐ Matt Haig
I'm a firm believer in the hustle game.
‐‐ Eric Snow
I'm a firm believer in the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights. I don't think you should infringe on the type of weapon somebody should buy or the number of rounds in a high-capacity magazine.
‐‐ Gabriel E. Gomez
I'm a firm believer in utilizing celebrities because they tap into people on an emotional basis.
‐‐ Daymond John
I'm a firm believer that actors take to work who they aren't at home. People show their other self in their art or in their work.
‐‐ Robin Tunney
I'm a firm believer that all this packaged stuff that Americans are buying up in gobs is making them fatter.
‐‐ Michael Symon
I'm a firm believer that in the theory that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. It is difficult to excel at something you don't enjoy.
‐‐ Jack Nicklaus
I'm a firm believer that it's not the way you look or what you have, but what you've got inside.
‐‐ Krista Allen
I'm a firm believer that language and how we use language determines how we act, and how we act then determines our lives and other people's lives.
‐‐ Ntozake Shange
I'm a firm believer that lighting affects mood, and twinkly lights on strings bring something magical to occasions ranging from concerts to weddings, though I'm fond of using them as year-round home decor. There's a reason why they're sometimes called fairy lights. When the night is right, there aren't any strings at all.
‐‐ Erin Morgenstern
I'm a firm believer that no matter how small an object is, you can find interesting things out about it and its history.
‐‐ Henry Petroski
I'm a firm believer that people find their own passions.
‐‐ Marcus Samuelsson
I'm a firm believer that the world should be your oyster when you're cooking. People should open themselves to other cuisines - there are a lot of hidden secrets all over the world.
‐‐ Yotam Ottolenghi
I'm a firm believer that there's no way that a six-year-old should have a helmet on and learn a tackling drill.
